Boasting a beautifully figured poplar burl top, the Ibanez RG470PB delivers big with iconic RG series style and effortless fingerboard finesse. Anchoring this axe is a supremely comfortable and balanced RG-style body crafted from poplar burl-topped meranti, equipped with a rock-solid double-locking tremolo for dive-bombs, expressive vibrato, and squeals. And while this guitar’s looks scream metal, shred, and high-octane rock, the RG470PB’s dual Quantum humbuckers, middle-position single-coil, and 5-way switch ensure a palette of tones. Finally, it simply wouldn’t be an RG without extreme performance, a quality that the RG470PB’s Wizard III maple neck and 24-fret fingerboard provide in spades. Capture the comfortable feel and shred-ready playability of a true Ibanez classic with the Ibanez RG470PB!

Classic RG style

The Ibanez RG series of guitars has remained a standard in rock music for decades, thanks in large part to its sleek and comfortably contoured body lines. Not only does the guitar hug your body and forearm, but the deep treble-side cutaway offers unrestricted access to all 24 frets. And the body also boasts a double-locking tremolo that ensures you maintain consistent stability while having access to ultimate pitch control. The guitarists here at Music Experience love the feel and playability of the Ibanez's RG guitars. You will too.

Iconic Wizard neck

Since its invention, the Wizard neck profile has been what makes an Ibanez an Ibanez. You'll find the third-generation Wizard III on the Ibanez RG470PB solidbody electric guitar. Its incredibly thin contour is a favorite among speed-happy players, as it allows unfettered movement up and down the fretboard. And its maple construction provides a stable neck while offering increased sustain and tonal attack.

Vast tonal range

With two humbucking pickups, one single-coil pickup, and 5-way switching, you'll be able to shape your tone any way you like with the RG470PB. The Quantum humbucking pickups are designed by Ibanez to exude robust output, allowing you to push your amp into thick and harmonically rich overdrive. And when you mix those humbuckers with the middle-position single-coil, you gain crystal-clear tones that will shine for any genre. Although the RG series boasts a (well-deserved) reputation for high-octane rock, metal and shred, the RG470PB's tonal variety makes it a great guitar for almost any style.
